The couple, along with their children, emigrated to New Zealand aboard the vessel "Canterbury". The "Canterbury" sailed from London on 21 September 1863 and arrived into Lyttelton on 10 January 1864. The passenger list records her husband, John, as a "veterinary surgeon", from "Herefordshire", aged 41 and Maria, aged 36. Children: John (aged 17), Annie M. (aged 16), Ada Elizabeth (aged 14), Amy Mary (aged 13), Alice H. (aged 11), Agnes H. (aged 9), Richard H. (aged 8), Adele E. (aged 6), William H. (aged 3) and Edward H. (aged 1).
